Hosting an Event

Here are some suggested guidelines for hosting an event at Noisebridge. If it's an hour or two long workshop with a dozen or so participants, just hold it. If it's bigger, such as an unconference or a full day of presentations or you expect a lot of new people to show up, please note the following:

It's recommended that you have a Noisebridge member or several as part of your planning committee to see that you avoid common pitfalls when working with our organization

publicize the event via the mailing list and the wiki, with enough lead time that the community can respond and give feedback

be aware of the existing ongoing events and try to work around them

show up for a while before finalizing your planning and get to know some of the denizens

have a plan for setting up the space

have a plan for cleaning up after yourself (and follow it)

consider a monetary donation to Noisebridge

take into account any policies or issues regarding alcohol, charging, etc.
